Global conflicts are on the rise, first we have Russia Ukraine conflict followed by Israel invasion in Gaza and lately we have regime change in Syria. It's interesting that in Syria within few days the opposition have taken control over the whole country. With so many conflicts going on, the global economy will defiantly suffer and many will find Bitcoin as safe heaven for there capital because of degrading value of fiat. Unless these conflicts cease to exist and global economy finds stability, the Bitcoin will rule.     

I think the sentimental cycle that people have for bitcoin is also one for the reasons the bull market will stop but later continue after bear market. If we should predict the time, that would be in 2026. But with the way bitcoin is right now, I do not know if that will happen or not, but I think bitcoin holders and traders know about this and they may prefer to sell some of their coins and going for short position respectively at the time.

Big issues which can bother or manipulate the minds of people. Right now the possible FUDs that can trigger that to happen is Mt.Gox massive sell off FUDs, America stop their support on bitcon then throw out bad statement that can affect those investors so bad. Then last thing is global financial crisis since maybe bitcoin might get affected with that.

Although those things are just speculation for now but we could see in future on what issue will come out that would able to stop bitcoin bull run condition. But also I guess this should be the less thing people should think about since what's more important at current condition is on how people could take advantage on current growth earned by bitcoin.

Bitcoin market has never stopped spinning and it won't. After some big exchange hacks, collapses like Mt.Gox, FTX, Bitcoin market has been continuing its operation and its growth is rapidly parabolic.

If a collapse, bankruptcy of a single centralized exchange can destroy Bitcoin market, it isn't a strong market and no longer attractive for investors.

Does it sound true if you know of reasons for Bitcoin Genesis Block in January 2009?

It's a day of "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"

To be fair this scenario which is common in each cycle first requires a bubble to form. In other words price has to go way higher than this in a much shorter period for it to be considered a bubble. For example back in 2017 price went from below $1000 to $20000 and mot importantly it went from $10k to $20k in less than a month which created a bubble which then led to the long bear market.

Right now we are just getting out of "slum" and starting the bull run. Price has to reach something like $1 million to be a bubble and pop and lead to bear market

Indeed, the US and the statements from Trump play a big role in driving up the price of bitcoin. However, they could also easily cause it to drop if their approach has a negative impact. Like if they pass laws that are against the will of the majority and negatively impact the crypto market, it would likely drag prices down as investors rush to sell.

But even if the US continues to support crypto, that does not mean that the price of bitcoin will never fall anymore. I believe in the natural market cycle—after every bull season, a bearish season will come next. In fact, we have been experiencing this already.

The market is cyclical, there is always positive news that is spread to trigger a bull market and there is always negative news that impacts the market causing a bear market. If you look at the history of previous cycles, you will see only one scenario being used over and over again.

Like bitcoin, we can't predict, we will never know what news will make the bull market stop and turn into a bear market. But we know for sure that at some point, the bear season will come so let's always keep an eye on the market, take profits at the right time and don't let the bears take away all our profits.

Nobody here is talking about Bitcoin "stopping". If BTC retreated to $1000 right now, it wouldn't be "stopped".

FTX caused a dip in Bitcoin that lasted quite a while, and I would argue that there would be a "fool me twice" sort of effect if there was another major failure like that. Bitcoin has absolutely no intrinsic value, so it will always necessarily be very volatile in its price--and thus very sensitive to bad market news (in South Korea last week it briefly fell to $40k when they had political unrest for instance).

Today, Bitcoin's price is propped up by a much broader group of investors, many of whom are smaller consumer investors who are much more skittish.


Again, nobody here is talking about "destroying" anything, but certainly a major market scare could drag BTC down by 90% and keep it that way for five years or more. That will "destroy" a lot of people's retirement savings, but Bitcoin itself as a technical platform will be totally fine.


Oh come on, Bitcoin is 5000 lightyears from it's origins today. People buy Bitcoin for one reason, which is to sell it later for more. It is a speculation instrument.

I get that if you are an "OG bitcoiner", you have no use for all of these n00bs that don't know the philosophy behind Bitcoin, but guess what: if these n00bs leave, then then Bitcoin loses 90% of its market value because their money leaves too.

That actually might stop bitcoin, specially if such a catastrophic crash to such a low price becomes prolonged. Bitcoin's mining industry has grown and it has grown based on its price. When price has been above $60k for a long time, the hashrate grows based on that profit.
If it crashes, the profit crashes therefore miners stop.
Miners stopping means hashrate drops significantly and that puts bitcoin in danger of 51% attacks.

On which exchange because I am curious to see why the traders missed such a massive opportunity for making a massive profit using arbitrage. That would have beeen roughly 250000% profit!
